    they aren't always notified in advance. there have been multiple rockets games where players were supposed to play and then didn't. i know there was one game where on game day where both artest and tmac were going to play. then artest decided not to. then tmac decided he wasn't going to play either so artest decided he would go ahead and play.

    pretending like there always is advanced notice to the league and fans is dumb. that just isn't reality.

    san antonio didn't cheat anything.

    This thread took a quick spiral down to retardation. I wonder if its because I didn't say what the RC2 locals wanted to hear.

    Who asked you to reply to that? No one, you're free to do as you please and so am I. Listen bro, you can talk smack to me and JE all you want, we don't care. Only you get mad. But to tell him to enjoy hi "circle jerk" is plain stupid. What do you gain by that? What do you think he thinks? "Oh mai god! Hez told me to circle jerk! CRY!". Dude, it's a forum, he can say what he wants within the forum rules. And you just need to chill the fuck out cause Obama got this.

    Now, the Spurs can do what they want with their players and JE agreed with that. No need to tell him he is wrong, because this situation is in the eye of the beholder. Stop being a child and move on. Ya DIG!

    I don't care what you agree with. It just seems like you are coming on here telling posters how to act. Telling someone to stop crying, telling me to chill.

    Personally I would perfer you just say what you got to say without telling me what I should do or how I should feel. . . but whatever.

    Lol, when I say that, you don't have to do it. By posters you mean you and CIP? You can take what I say and do what you want with it, I don't care. Just CIP needs to just tone it down a little and you're fine. Just sticking up for your homie, I get it. But Je + Duckman > All. Betta' Recognize!

    :lol: A thread dumber than the one I was just arguing in. That didn't take long.

    If the Spurs want to give a game away to the team directly under them so be it. They can do what they want, the integrity wasn't compromised. Gimme a break.

    FWIW,

    I think the teams owe it to the fans to try to win. And the Spurs may well be looking at playoff matchups and trying to face the most favorable opponent.

    It's not like they rested one old guy in a back to back situation.

    Instead of getting everyone rested at once, they should spread the fatigue around.

    It's WAYYYY to early to be sitting guys out for playoff matchups. We still have what 30 games left? Things are far from set in stone

    right. they rested two old guys(duncan and finley), one guy with an injury(manu's hip), and one young guy coming off only his 3rd 40 minute game of the season last night with tonight's game being in denver.

    nothing wrong here. and how are they trying to determine playoff matchups at this point in the season with something like 35 games to go?

    I'll tell you why its wrong:

    1) Pop is in a gambling ring.

    2) Portland suffers the most. Blazers > NBA.

    3) Fatigue is a figment of everyone's imagination.

    4) It IS Pop's job to give a dead horse's last shit about what the fans pay for when he has a professional sports team to run.



    I don't make the rules. :dunno:

    Not ALL of you... actually very few of you.


    But good posting by the masses has a way of being marred by the few that 'don't fit in', if you get my drift.

    My bad.

    I was pissed the spurs took a night off and was a bit irrate. But I went and self-medicated ( :D ) and it all good.

    I'm glad you recognized I was sticking up for a Blazer poster. But hope mods keep posting here . . . the more perspectives the better.

    :cheers:

    A single victory may be the difference between 8th seed and lottery, or 1st place in the division and 2nd.
